The first-ever release under Hagakura Records was an ambient demo from Astra Borealis. It came out on 10 November 2006. Since then, Hagakura Records has facilitated the release of over 50 demos, EPs, full-length albums, and compilation albums.

To commemorate, enjoy a FREE sampler CD of ambient, drone, noise, and other experimental music.

With their second full-length album, I STABBED MYSELF IN THE EYE WITH A TOOTHBRUSH ONCE (ISMITEWATO) has crafted an intriguing blend of electronic and drone music. The resulting ambient-themed album is sure to feel like a calm voyage through an endless golden spiral.

While our original prices were noticeably lower than the industry average, Hagakura Records recently concluded that some prices were still a bit too high (in comparison with some other indie artist/label releases). To make releases more accessible to the public, all prices for digital releases are going to be lowered (applies to everything, past and future). It’s been almost 10 years since the first release under Hagakura Records, and Hagakura Enterprises strives to continuously improve.
